More Good Advice from St. Augustine: Love the Creator in the Creature

St. Augustine and the Fire of Wisdom

As I said in a previous post, it has been my habit to read every night before going to bed, and before the Night Prayer, a daily reading from the works of St. Augustine, Augustine Day by Day, compiled by John Rotelle, O.S.A.

The reading for September 12th, "Love the Creator in the Creature", is for those who every once in a while feel the pull of agnostic beliefs that they may have formerly held.

"Now, may our God be our hope.  He Who made all things is better than all things.  He Who made all beautiful things is more beautiful than all of them.   He Who made all mighty things is more mighty than all of them.   He who made all great things is greater than all of them.
Learn to love the Creator in His Creature, and the maker in what He has made."  Commentary on Psalm 38,9

Thoughts anticipating those of St. Anselm and St. Thomas Aquinas?

Shalom and Happy New Year!
